At last, Religious Leaders Condemn a Homosexual Parade

If you were expecting those leaders to be from the Vatican [or the USCCCP] you would, of course, be mistaken. It was Russian Jews living in Jerusalem who last week were protesting this abomination on the land where Christ walked.

From Interfax-Religion:

Moscow, July 22, Interfax – The Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia (FJCR) is outraged with a gay pride in Jerusalem held this Thursday.

“Manifestations of such exhibitionism – demonstration of your sexual orientation in public – is unacceptable. First of all, we express strong protest to Jerusalem authorities as they permitted this abusive action,” FJCR president Alexander Boroda said commenting the event on Interfax-Religion request.

He stressed that being a believer, he cannot stay indifferent to the developments in the Holy Land as Israel and Jerusalem are “holy places for the Jews of the whole world,” and reminded that Judaism as well as other monotheistic religions categorically prohibits homosexuality and practices “strongly negative attitude to homosexual relations.”

“A religious person bases on the conviction that we should not be guided by our passions. God set laws of behavior restricting us. Until a person stays at home, he can do whatever he wants, but out in the open it is necessary to coordinate your actions with other people’s behavioral norms,” Boroda said

Isn’t it sad when it takes Jews to say something that every Catholic priest and Bishop should be saying, loud and clear. Remember these Jews in your prayers that their common sense may guide them into the One True Church which is, and always was, their birthright.

“Isn’t it sad when it takes Jews to say something that every Catholic priest and Bishop should be saying, loud and clear.”

We are getting to the stage where I almost full over on the spot if I hear a Catholic Bishop or priest come out with a public condemnation of sin. Our bishops’ loudest condemnations now are for the evils of global warming or …shock…horror…intollerant views, such as homophobia or islamaphobia.

One of the best journalists in my country, a man who regularly nails the hypocrasy of the left, is an agnostic who often defends the Catholic Church from liberal attacks on its traditional moral teachings. I pray for his conversion.
